the governor said he doesn't support this law. not enough support this law. in the state of virginia again, president obama narrowly carries it. if you look at it here, it's 7 of 11. mitt romney carried 7 of the 11 and he would have won the majority. if you pull out to the country by congressional district, in all 50 states, mitt romney is the president today. this appears to be dying a little bit. if you did have a change like this, look at it. what would change? democrats would be down campaigning in places like alabama and georgia. any of these voting rights states that have african american districts. we would have a campaign in which republicans would be out campaigning in california. we haven't seen that since the bush campaign in 1988. in the states of pennsylvania and especially new york. if you did this in all 50 states, it would make for a very, very different election. that's not the wolf republicans are talking about. they have a standful of states that would benefit them. that has been a thought after the campaign. >> it's only nebraska and maine
